- Their idea of "support" is quite interesting. A list of the Microsoft
- Basic functions they DONT support takes over a full page just to list. The
- approach to any sort of DSP calculation is interesting too. The ONLY numeric
- format they support is double precision floating point. Can you say "slow as
- molasses"? Oh, you can do a single precision FFT if you like. Just be ready to
- write it low-level yourself!!

-
- Be forewarned. Their idea of support is quite loose. Be prepared to
- essentially learn a whole new language, regardless of the initial model.
